Zombie Kills ..

Recommended Posts

I know being an Arma 2 mod this may not be possilbe but here is goes. Make the zombies die by headshot only. If you shoot them in the chest make them drop and then get back up. Make it so you can cut off or shoot off limbs. Then based off what limb is removed make move based off that. So if they lost both limbs they would drag them selfs by their arms to try and get to you. Also Zombies should be in larger hordes .. Sure make a few loners but make most in bit setup groups. It is the huge hordes that get you not the single zombies.

It could be possible when Dayz is standalone, but at the moment it's restricted to the same limits as the ARMA II engine which doesn't feature limb-specific health and dismemberment. Also dismemberment is frowned upon in some countries, considered too violent and it was already clarified by Rocket that features that wouldn't bypass stricter country's censorship policies won't be added. I asked for cannibalism. I think that's far worse than dismemberment, but my argument was that technically it is already featured, since the zombies already feed on fresh corpses, why can't I. Dismemberment might be seen as worse, since it's more of a focus point for needless excess violence. I like the idea of limb-specific health and or conditions, however it's likely not possible in the current ARMA II engine.

Have you even played this mod?

Yeah when i shoot them in the chest they die. that is not right. Should be in the head only. maybe a newer mod fixed this.

They're not zombies, they are similar to them though.

The mod is based of an infection who has turned people into flesh eating savages.

See this is a very interesting suggestion. I like it and it adds more action to the gameplay but chances of Rocket actually adding this are pretty low in my opinion.

With how glitchy the zombies are based on their speed, making them only die to headshots would be crazy. They'd ONLY BE KILLABLE INDOORS!

Also, as said, these are not the traditional undead rotting corpses that walk, but infected crazy people. They are still alive. And like living people, a few well placed rounds really messes up their day.
